Research has identified a number of factors that contribute to causing and maintaining symptoms of depression. there are five major factors: situations, thoughts, emotions, physical state and actions. each of these areas of our life can play a role in the development of depression, and depression can have an impact on all of them.
There are numerous theories about causes such as biological and genetic factors, environmental influences, and childhood or developmental events.
Depressed mood may be triggered by stressful life situations, including those related to the workplace. if your attempts to cope with these situations have not been successful – or the situations have not improved we may begin to feel overwhelmed and hopeless. Risk of developing depression may then increase.
People do not only get depressed when things are going badly. some people get depressed when their life has been going smoothly. Depression may seem to come out of nowhere.Depression often begins with feelings of discouragement and sadness.
One theory of depression is that it is caused by changes in brain function, or a chemical imbalance. there is research showing that, for some depressed people, certain neurochemicals in the brain are less active. it is unclear whether these changes in brain chemistry commonly cause depression, or are the result of depression. All we know is that depression is often associated with changes in brain chemistry.
People who devote almost all their time and energy to work, while neglecting personally rewarding activities, have work-life imbalance and are at risk for developing low mood or depression. if you always bring home concerns from the job and are unable to let go of your work and relax, you are more vulnerable to depressed mood.
People with depressive illnesses do not all experience the same symptoms. the severity, frequency and duration of symptoms will vary depending on the individual and his or her particular illness.
There is not cure for depression,I am still waiting for.
Good Luck & take care as always!!

It doesn't change your brain chemistry, but it does change the way you think, not in a bad way more in a maturing way.
No, it's not insulting at all. Anyone would rather be lucky than good.
Just say "Good luck", and stop asking the same question over and over and over.
There really is such a condition as a chemical imbalance. People can have this and struggle with everyday life and ususlly suffer from depression. It is no joke.
